      I'm re-reading A Christmas Carol to test this, but the thing is, I don't think Marley and Scrooge are even good businessmen. I don't think a single point of this editorial is actually supported by the text.https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1342203193451798528 …

      The *idea* behind the WSJ editorial is that Marley and Scrooge created wealth that enabled people to build railroads and factories that raised the standard of living for the nation and the world, but I don't see any indication in the text they invested in those things.

      I'm re-reading because this is one of the most adapted works in the English language and so it's hard to separate my memories of the adaptations from the texts, but the impression I have is that Scrooge's main business is the equivalent of sub-prime mortgages.

      Lending money at usurious rates to people who can't possibly hope to pay you back destroys wealth rather than creates it, while in the short to mid term causing it to further accumulate in the hands of the few.

      We can get an idea of Scrooge's business sense and how his business dealings impact the working class in how he treats his sole employee: paying him a starvation wage.

      Scrooge has only one employee? From all the adaptations i thought he had a factory and was employing dozens, maybe over 100.

      Nope. Read the story itself- it's just Cratchett!

      Yeah he doesn't own a factory, his job is only vaguely alluded to in the book but it's purely "financial services", pushing papers and moving money around
